Visualization Room

The Visualization Room complements the collaboration room, providing meeting space
that features a large, rear-projected, 14-megapixel image display. Large-scale, high-resolution
two-dimensional visual imagery can be used to effectively convey information and illustrate
research findings to stakeholders and visitors. The Visualization Room also boosts
the exchange of ideas among NREL researchers and their collaborating partners. Using
the display, researchers and others now have the visual real estate to lay out significant
amounts of data to analyze large-scale simulations, ensembles of simulations, and
highly detailed visual analytics.

Collaboration Room

Next to the Visualization Room, the Collaboration Room provides multiple workspaces
in which researchers and partners from all disciplines of science and engineering
can interactively visualize highly complex, large-scale data, systems, and operations
in real time. Simulation data may span from the atomistic scale of new materials to
the atmospheric boundary scales used in multi-turbine array simulations. Observational
data span from the nanostructures of biomass pretreatments to the complexity of the
North American electrical power grid. The Collaboration Room utilizes a variety of
immersive three-dimensional visualization and interaction technologies that bring
these scientific data to the human scale.
